Kids Classes

HMC also offers classes for children ages 5-17. The focus in these classes is on having fun in a safe environment where children are able to develop their motor skills, coordination, good discipline, and where they learn to respect their elders.

The approach is a practical, philosophical, one based on the idea that training in martial arts develops a child’s character. Martial arts teach self-respect, self-esteem, self-control, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-worth, self-commitment, and self-development. Children learn to cooperate with others through positive socialization; they learn that being selfish does not win friends and that exercise is important to their health.
